(this is for future reference)

the Reason why our phones on the stock roms is the same reason why windows slows down

error codes build up and one way to fix half of it is to wipe your cache, (one advantage of apple IOS, does not generate error codes and thus can last a straight 2 months of constant running)

AOSP /CM10/11 are much cleaner then stock and will take alot more time to slow down, and the same goes with Stock ICS, it will slow down a bit but no more then that

GB was about the best, it was perfectly coded , no errors

JB was coded by Sony DEV team B and team B is the ones to F***ed up almost everything they have touched

although Xperia Z run almost the exact same firmware as xperia s it got messed up when they ported it

its why i discontinued my rom, i couldent fix alot of the errors that my self and sony had caused
[HTC One X] Basseytje:
I bought a second hand HTC One X. after the sale i did a factory reset. after a few hours the phone received an OS update. So i downloaded the update and waited for the phone to reboot and install. during the installation the progress bar was 100% and it took a long time for the phone to reboot, (phone was recharging during the installation) so i unplugged the charger and the phone rebooted. but when the phone restarted, there were no changes. so i checked the system info to be sure. it was still the same OS version number 4.1.1.

I tried this a couple of times and did a factory reset, but still no luck.

i read something about going into the bootloader and do a recovery but i don't know what that is. and do i have to backup some data before i do this thing?

phone info:

HTC one X

android 4.1.1

sense 4+

softwarenumber: 3.20.401.1

HTC SDK api: 4.63
[HTC One X] robchongke:
maybe it's rooted. if you go to bootloader and you see *****UNLOCKED**** then your bootloader is unlocked. what you need is a fastboot files and htc driver. much easier if you read first. go in the android development section and search for this thread, [REF][11 NOV]*HTC ONE X* - Indexed listing of roms, kernels, guides, tools & mods. you can find all you need in there.
[HTC One X] Basseytje:
When i go to the bootloader it says : ***LOCKED***
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Did you rerun the update again without the charger ?

And did you check the software number, because 3.20.401.1 and 3.20.401.3 aren't that different.

Hello

I have Samsung Homesync and I feel sorry that I bought it, so it's a warning don't do the same mistake. the device is very limited and and need more Apps to be satisfied with it.

The problem now when you go to Google Play store there is a phew apps you can install them and most of them are useless.

even though the screen is like the tablet but I can't install tablets apps from google play so I want to install them from an apk files.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
Hello,

I have been crack flashing for a long time, but when I got the Droid Maxx from verizon I was disappointed at the lack of an unlocked bootloader. I had been running safestrap and was getting the phone ready to return for a refund so I can get the developer edition.

So, it looks like using safestrap I completely wiped the system partition. I can get the phone to boot to flashboot mode or to the safestrap flash screen but that is all.

Using RSDlite I attempted to flash 12.9.0, but get the return message "Failed flashing process. 2/17 flash partition "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL. On the phone it said:

"downgraded security version

update gpt_main version failed

preflash validation failed for GPT."

So it looks like the issue might be because I am flashing the FXZ file for 12.15.15, but I cannot find the FXZ file for it.

I also tried using House of Moto. Attached is a screen shot of what I get.

So basically it looks like I have no ROM whatsoever. Is there a way out of this so I can return the phone for a refund?

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
I realized that I had not set things up correctly for House of Moto, I ran it, and boot.img, system.img, and motoboot.img are not loading because they are from the previous image and it will not allow a downgrade.

So, I guess I need to get the factory image of the latest update, or perhaps get those *.img files from someone with a working phone and drop them in to folder before flashing.

Anyone have the factory image after the OTA? Or perhaps the missing files I need (if dropping them will actually work, of course)?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
,

I am having the same problem only I am on the Droid Ultra and not the Maxx, I too need the files for the latest OTA because the two older files are supposedly out dated for me, i get a bunch of failures. What sucks is some files were clearly restored because it erased Safestrap and now i have stock recovery but it didn't restore the OS or anything so i cannot boot up into anything but fastboot....hopefully someone uploads the latest ota to the site or even the forums....good luck to you. i need it as well.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rds217:
I'm in the same boat, but not quite as bad. I've got the mini, and it boots into the normal mode, but not all things work - touchless controls crash every time I try to open it, and my calendars won't sync. My recovery is gone, when I try to boot into it, I get an android logo with it's chest open with a red triangle.

I tried using RSD Lite and fastboot with the original stock image files, but the result are the same. I'm going to hold out for someone to post an image with the OTA included or another workaround. Amazing how we got the same problems at roughly the same time after the OTA.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
if yours boots into the OS maybe you can still root it, after you root it you can then modify system apps, getting rid of touchless control and then reinstall it, may fix the force close. also if you manage to gain root you could install safestrap. the android with the triangle is the stock recovery, i forget what buttons or button combination you have to hit to make the menu appear but that is the stock recovery by what you're describing
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
So I just got back from the Verizon store, I went in to see if they could flash the files I need. They told me they couldn't but gave me a number at motorola to see if they would e-mail the files to me.

Unfortunately that didn't work. Motorola said I could send the phone in for a repair, and that was my only option.

I think I'll take the second option and wait until someone posts the files and flash them with RSD Lite.

I just hope that happens soon, as I am wanting to return the phone and get the developer edition. I have until Saturday to return it and I doubt they will give me a refund with it in this state.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rds217:
Here's the issue, I can't boot into write-protected off mode. When I tried running HouseOfMoto, I flashed stock recovery for pre-OTA; since I received the OTA, I can't install PwnMyMoto, which is what gave me the write-protection off mode in the first place. Now when I go from the bootloader into recovery, I get the dead android + red triangle, what you call stock recovery.

I have root level access, but it's all but useless since the system is write protected. In other words, no Safestrap. I'll have to live with what I've got until someone finds time and reason to upload the post-OTA image or something newer.

Edit: Fixed it, maybe it will work for you guys. Check the PwnMyMoto thread for the source, I can't post it due to being new.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
With my issue I cannot even get to the point where I can use ADB. I am pretty much stuck with fastboot commands. I can get the bootloader and stock recovery, but nothing more.

Is there something that I can edit in the update file that would allow the version downgrade test to pass? I've played around with the XML file, but I am not having much luck.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erishasnobattery:
Your only current options are to wait for a newer FXZ or have Motorola perform a repair on it.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
Thanks, that was what I was afraid of. I guess now I will check obsessively for the new FXZ files. Got have some way to spend my day (you know, as opposed to doing my job ;) ).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal_alton:
Hi. To start with I bought a phone from a friend which I knew was faulty but decided to take my chances and try to fix it. He claims he did nothing to the phone but don't know for sure. Phone is in constant bootloop, Goes until splash screen and reboots. Worst yet to come - even bootloader menu restarts on constant basis when i try to get into it. Meaning it goes into bootloader but restarts in few seconds before i can get to factory reset. Computer is not picking up this device but i also don't have any drivers installed but don't even know how to install them with a phone in this state. Is there anything i can do about it? Been with Samsung for the past few years and here is everything completely different so don't know much about adb but am a quick learner and can follow any steps! I can provide picture of bootloader if it would be any helpful.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Phone:
Send a picture of the bootloader while I find the drivers you need
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal_alton:
Seems like battery is completely dead as it only reboots when there is power supply connected, but then it won't turn off (any charging light don't come on, not sure if it should though). Just now i've seen a vodafone logo for a very short second when I connected to pc from charger. But phone rebooted again just after.

edit. downloaded drivers (4.8) but that didn't change anything and windows still doesn't pick up device.

After connecting my one to computer for past 3 hours its started more frequently boot and showing Vodafone menu but still restarts shortly after. Vodafone logo shows on and lights on soft buttons starts flashing like 3 times and than it keeps rebooting. Does it mean anything?

When i go to device manager I can't find it.

When I go to devices and printers i can see nexus 5 but can't access it.

When i switch to PTP THe device works but MTP doesn't. USB debug on and off don't help either help?

I deleted now every driver installed phone shows up as android adp when connected but can't access it or nothing?

IT works fine on other pc
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactic2:
hey had the same problem. The solution below worked for me...

1. Enable USB debugging: Go to phone settings -> About -> Tap build number repeatedly until developer menu is enabled. Go there and tick USB debugging.

2. On your PC, go to your device manager (when the Phone is plugged in and set to MTP), locate the phone, right click on it -> properties

3. go to the Driver tab

4. click Update Driver

5. click Browse my Computer for driver software

6. click Let my pick...

7. select USB Composite Device

8. finish up with the assistant

The reason why I gave you the link was for you to do a manual installation of the Nexus 5 drivers. Even if you're going to root, you still need your PC to recognize your phone. When browsing your computer for driver software in Step 5, point to the file you downloaded from the link.

hmm.. got my xda mini s for xmas, battery does not seem that great so i looking at ways of saving my battery, now ive noticed that all the programs i use do NOT seem to close after use, ive found this out by checking the task manager. is there something wrong with my device?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
That's the way things work on the PocketPC, it's called SmartMinimize. The system will close any apps when it needs to. In theory...

If you want to close apps yourself, use a taskkiller like GSPocketMagic or SmallMenu.

I've made a tiny program that can be assigned to a hardware key to do the same kind of things (still in testing).

I just assigned a close all and close all but current to mort button. Very easy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
Of course the other side of the coin is that if you close all programs, they take longer to load next time you need them. Which can be annoying on WM5 devices because of the slow flash memory. So many task managers (including GSPocketMagic) allow you to specify which programs to keep running, so you can switch to them instantly (e.g. Messaging).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
Spot on, I use SPBPocketPLus to close all programs appart from IE, Outlook and Phone. Leaves plenty of free memory and the apps I use the most then fire up instantly

This morning I've been listening to a webradio through wireless + using ICQ and MSN, I still had 50% of battery after 2 hours.

Before getting this one I had a blueangel, doing the same things with it would already have killed the battery by that time. I'm now waiting to see how it lasts just playing MP3s with screen off, the BA could give me 9hrs if underclocked at 100MHz. Unfortunately no clock setting tool yet for the wizard, still waiting...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
this has been mentioned a few times already and I find I'm opposite of you guys. It's too dang bright! you can install lux or velis to control auto brightness to your liking. you can even make some tasker tasks to force certain profiles based on various sscenarios like if your conn2cted to a certain ssid switch to a less aggressive setting or whatever. I think both require the paid versios for the tasker plugins. ive paid for both and like lux better since sub zero settings are easier and it "sleeps" quicker if I want it off.
